<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>As someone that is active on eBay as both a seller and buyer, I've seen enough "creative" marketing by less than scrupulous individuals to remain unsurprised by newer initiatives that are only ever about separating novice buyers from their money.<img style="float: right; border: 0px initial initial;" title="palestine-coins-3.jpg" src="http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/files/palestine-coins-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Palestine coins 3" width="331" height="169" /></p>
<p>Although I've seen the terms "100 Mils" and "100 Mills" numerous times over the past few years, imprinted onto "art bars" and other ghastly reproductions aimed at impulse buyers of precious metals on eBay, I've never really given any thought as to what the term actually meant. As "mil" was a denomination used in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_for_Palestine">Palestine under British rule</a> from the 1920's to the 1940's, I presumed the manufacturer of the items in such advertisements had somehow appropriated the denomination to imply that their products had a legitimate face value, and as such weren't junk art bars after all.</p>
<p>It turns out I was completely wrong, and that the terms 100 mils / 100 mills and mills silver are all used to describe bars or ingots of metal that have simply been plated or "clad" (an interchangeable term primarily used in the US) in the precious metal they are advertised as being.</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia, the term "mil" is interchangeable with the term "thou" - a legitimate (albeit relatively obscure) unit of length measurement under the Imperial system. The article states that, <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou_(length)">a "thou" is "the verbalized abbreviation for 'thousandth(s) of an inch.' It is a unit of length equal to 0.001 inch."</a> </em>Each of the footnotes at the end of the Wikipoedia article confirm that attribution.</p>
<p><img style="float: right;" title="Screen shot 2012-01-30 at 11.05.00 AM.JPG" src="http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/files/Screen shot 2012-01-30 at 11.05.00 AM_0.JPG" border="0" alt="Screen shot 2012 01 30 at 11 05 00 AM" width="250" height="238" /></p>
<p>It makes perfect sense to me that a unit of measurement this small would be primarily used by tradesmen where specifications of tolerance are extremely important - engineers and machinists are most likely to use the term "thou" when measuring:</p>
<ul><li>The thickness of items such as paper, film, foil, wires, paint coatings, latex gloves, plastic sheeting, and fibres;</li>
<li>Manufacturing dimensions and tolerances, such as in the manufacture of automobile engines;</li>
<li>In the servicing of automobile engines (Typical examples include a spark-plug gap or ignition points gap.);</li>
<li>In the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs); and</li>
<li>When measuring tolerance specifications on hydraulic cylinders.</li>
</ul><p>As we operate on the metric system here in Australia, and the smallest (standard) unit of length measurement here is the millimetre (for which the verbalised abbreviation is also "mil"), I think most members of the Australian general public can be forgiven for not immediately knowing what the terms "mil" and "thou" actually refer to!</p>
<p>If we accept that under the metric system one "mil" is 0.0254mm or 25.4 microns, then a 100 mil plating is 2,540 microns or 2.54mm deep. Given the generally poor manufacturing quality of these products, I strongly doubt that - a few rough calculations show me that 100 mils is equivalent to around 20 pieces of 80gsm paper - stack them in front of you and I think you'll agree that these manufacturers would never go to that length (pun intended) to give a base metal bar the appearance of having been made from solid silver or gold.</p>
<p>Pure 99.9% Silver 100 Mils bar 1 Troy Ounce - A privately manufactured base metal ingot that has purportedly been (electro) plated in silver to a depth of 2.54mm. The total weight is purportedly 1 troy ounce - 31.1035g.</p>
<p>There are items advertised on eBay's Australian website at the moment that loosely fit this description - best thing to do is to steer well clear of them! Let's hope that these items are also banned from being sold under the new listing regime that begins on February 20th.</p>

<p>I reckon this is fantastic news - there's been a huge number of counterfeits on eBay's Australia site for some time now, and it'd be great if the same change is implemented in Australia.</p>
<p>Those of you that have been visiting our site for some time will remember <a href="http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/research/new-counterfeit-kids-block-chinese-dud-coins">the article I wrote some time ago about the prolific numbers of cheap Chinese counterfeits on eBay</a>.</p>
<p>Those of you that attended one of the seminars on this subject at an ANDA trade show throughout 2011 will remember <a href="http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/articles/counterfeit-coins-difference-between-canada-and-australia">the admittedly lame camel joke</a> (no pun intended) I threw in to lighten proceedings...</p>
<p>I've made some initial enquiries with eBay's Trust &amp; Safety Department and hope that ANDA can play a similar role to PNG in supporting eBay in having this change implemented in Australia also.</p>
<p>I'll keep you posted with our progress - if you'd like to pass your opinion on to eBay's senior staff, post a comment below this article and I'll ensure that they get an opportunity to read it - they are interested in getting an idea of what support (or lack thereof) there is for this initiative.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>I wasn't aware of it, but apparently there is an "eBay Nutcase of the Week" award, at least according to the good people at <a href="http://www.techdigest.tv">Tech Digest</a>. They're referring to the fact that (<a href="http://www.techdigest.tv/2008/11/ebay_nutcase_of_12.html">presumably pristine) newspapers in major US capital cities with prominent Obama themes are now selling for a pretty penny (ie up to US$100 each!) on eBay</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.techdigest.tv/new-york-times-obama-edition-cover.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I can understand why someone that has a passion for what the US' President-Elect stands for may want to set something aside that they can reflect back upon in years to come, and I have absolutely no doubt there are sharp operators out there right now that are madly trying to capitalize on this fad. I'm not even going to do a completed items search for Obama to see what they've been going for....</p>
<p>BTW, I'm going to use this page to post my own "eBay Nutcase of the Week", so if you happen to spy anything (let's keep it numismatic related, rather than cheese toasties with the image of the Virgin Mary on them being bought by a Las Vegtas casino for half a million US) make sure you let me know.</p>
<p>I don't think the postings will be posted as regularly as each week - true eBay insanity takes time to cultivate and grow.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>News this past week that <a href="http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/04/0137255">eBay has chosen not to contest the ACCC's draft ruling on their requirement for all sellers to accept Paypal only on their Australian site</a> have been met with sighs of relief around the country I'm sure, but is it really a victory?</p>
<p>There was a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121442890505904767.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries">thought-provoking (read that rage provoking) article on this issue in the Asian Wall Street Journal on June 26th</a>, in which the author contested that eBay / Paypal has the perfect right to set the price for the products and services that they offer, and that the ACCC investigation <em>"smacks of a basic misunderstanding of how market competition really works."</em> I don't think anyone would disagree that a business, any business does have the right to set the price for the products and services they offer - it's up to their competition and clientele to determine whether that's competitive or solid value for money. The argument against a business having that freedom is made when the opportunity to choose an alternative isn't palatable or apparent, as is the case with eBay in Australia.</p>
<p>The reason eBay has been / is successful is due to it's size and traffic volumes - the competitors in Australia simply aren't at a comparable level yet. So the choice that buyers and sellers have if they don't like eBay's prices or policies are to either trade elsewhere or stop trading altogether. Is that a fair choice to impose on a group of people who have come to rely on eBay for their sole source of income? Here's another question for you, is it fair for a business to come up with a model that appeals to millions of people around the world, risk effort and capital in pursuing that model, then once it's become successful to have a corporate regulator to limit the price that they charge their clients?</p>
<p>All of these are great questions with no easy answers - what I do know is that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged">"Atlas Shrugged"</a> is one of the most formative books I've ever read in my life, and I know what the main (fictional) characters of that book would have thought of the ACCC's efforts, or those of the thousands of sellers that are complaining about eBay's actions. I certainly know what the (deceased) author's opinion would have been! PS - the above book is slated for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged_(film)">production into a movie</a> during 2009, Angelina Jolie has been cast in the lead female role.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>I've had a personal experience this past week with <a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/eBay-policy-for-quot-graded-quot-coins-after-working-with-ANA_W0QQugidZ10000000004467239?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SIMILAR:4">a relatively new policy on eBay.com</a> that was introduced to <em>"minimize the opportunity for consumer fraud."</em></p>
<p>The new policy places a range of restrictions on sellers of coins &amp; notes in the USA, primarily around how coins are described and represented - an excellent idea, about which the <a href="http://www.money.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home">American Numismatic Association (ANA)</a> stated:</p>
<p><em> “The ANA supports this effort to improve consumer protection for people buying and selling coins on eBay. Although the ANA is not responsible for this policy, we support any effort to reduce the potential for fraud and to help safeguard the coin-collecting hobby.”</em></p>
<p>I seldom list US coins on eBay.com, but this past week posted a few nice US coins that I'd picked up in a local collection. In my zeal to present them in the way our Seppo friends would appreciate most, I included my own interpretations of the Sheldon grade of each coin in the auction title. Little did I know that this simple action was against eBay's new policy - it turns out that it's OK to include a numerical grade of a "raw" (unslabbed) coin within the item description, but it's not OK to include a numerical grade in the auction title.</p>
<p>As a result of my error, the listings concerned were cancelled by eBay, and I'll need to relist them next week with the offending digits removed from the titles. Here's an example of one item that contravened the policy:</p>
<p><img width="400" height="189" src="http://sterlingcurrency.com.au/images/ebay/OFFENDINGIMAGE.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I've copped this penalty on the chin - I should've been aware of the policy (it's been published for a few months now), and there's nothing I can do about it now.</p>
<p>What perplexes me though is that we don't have the same level of consumer protection on eBay's Australian website. The US site not only has the policy I've mentioned here, but has a firm policy on the sale of counterfeit coins &amp; currency, as well as a <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/coins_code_of_conduct/">Code of Conduct</a> regarding the sale of numismatic items.</p>
<p>Anyone that's been on ebay.com.au looking for coins &amp; notes for their collection will attest that it can often be a free-for-all. There are often numerous items that are misrepresented by novice (and not so novice) sellers not only for condition, rarity or investment merit, but also for authenticity. As the Secretary of the <a href="http://www.anda.com.au/">Australasian Numismatic Dealer's Association (ANDA)</a>, I've heard numerous, <strong>numerous</strong> sob stories about buyers being blatantly ripped off on eBay - fair enough, most of the time these people could've saved themselves a whole lot of grief if they'd used their brain before pressing the "Bid" button, but it certainly appears to me that if an active approach was taken by eBay in Australia to providing some protection to consumers, we'd see far less fraud being perpetrated, and activity in the rare coin market, both on and offline, would be a whole lot stronger.</p>
<p>ANDA has had some correspondence with eBay in the past about this topic, however little progress has been made, certainly not without many in the industry trying.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>The big news this week in the world of <a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&amp;include=0&amp;since=-1&amp;rdir=0&amp;rows=250&amp;userid=sterlingcurrencyau">eBay</a> was the ruling made by the <a href="http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/tag/consumersonline/">Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)</a> regarding eBay's proposed policy to allow Paypal as the only method of payment for auctions conducted on the ebay.com.au site. The policy was ostensibly to reduce the level of fraud that many of it's customers suffer as a result of trading on eBay.</p>
<p>The policy was announced by eBay some time ago, and was due to be implemented sometime next week from memory, however the ACCC has tabled a draft ruling that will go some way to prevent eBay from implementing this policy. The head of the ACCC, Mr Graham Samuel, stated that <em>"In light of the serious competition concerns raised in the draft notice and the significant concerns raised by interested parties, I have asked eBay to delay implementation of the second stage of the conduct until a final decision is made by the ACCC."</em></p>
<p>As a small business that has been trading on eBay for some time, when this proposed policy was announced in April, it struck me as being nothing more than a concerted attempt by eBay to increase the amount of profit it is able to generate from each auction conducted through it's website.</p>
<p>I believe that any business (including my own) has a perfect right, in fact an obligation (to its' owners or shareholders at least) to remain as competitive and profitable as possible. That being said, I don't see the long term value in generating profits at the expense of other obligations that a business may have, or values that it says it stands for. The ACCC at least has viewed this policy by eBay as being one that had the potential to significantly reduce competition in the online payments industry (yes, there is one)! Although it doesn't comment on the morality of eBay's proposed policy, or the broader obligations that the company has, in the opinion of this little eBayer I reckon the decision is just.</p>
<p>eBay would make a perfectly logical argument that if this policy <strong>is</strong> implemented, customers that don't wish to make use of Paypal for any reason have the freedom to choose to do business elsewhere. Which would be fine if there was a competitive alternative to eBay, but unfortunately at this point in time, there certainly ain't! (Not in the secondary market for coins in Australia anyway). In reality, businesses and consumers that are active on eBay would have the choice of either paying more per auction for the transactions they participated in on eBay (for those transactions that would have otherwise been paid for by cash, EFT, money order or otherwise), or missing out on sales volume or bargains for their collection. Neither of which would be all that palatable!</p>
<p>As would be expected of a multinational corporation, eBay has chosen to challenge the ACCC's draft ruling, so the issue isn't dead just yet. If the ACCC's final ruling is that the policy unfairly restricts competition, I'm not going to hold my breath for eBay to implement a policy that reduces fraud in a manner that doesn't restrict competition.</p>
<p>I don't think its' necessary to deploy too many grey cells to see that the vast majority of fraudulent transactions are either perpetrated on or suffered by eBay participants that have either low or relatively poor feedback. I don't believe anyone that trades on eBay would object to certain measures being put into place that only allowed certain payment methods being made available to those buyers and sellers that had proven themselves to be able to trade in a responsible manner. Just whether that comes to pass is another thing - as I say, don't hold your breath waiting.</p>

<a href="http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m10/i03/s01">eBay's<br />
about to introduce a policy change that will help improve the<br />
transparency of their marketplace - the removal of "private feedback"</a>.<br />
This means that eBay members will no longer be able to list on eBay if<br />
they choose to block others from reading their feedback, which has to<br />
help. This <strong>doesn't</strong> mean the end of "private listings" however, where only the seller can see the user ID of bidders and the end buyer.
</p>
<p>
"Private listings" are one way that unscrupulous coin &amp; note<br />
sellers have plied their trade - because a seller's feedback has been<br />
hidden, potential bidders haven't been able to fully inform themselves<br />
about how well or badly that seller has fared with previous bidders,<br />
which increases the chances the seller can continue to rip people off.<br />
With negative feedback available for all to see, buyers can make up<br />
their mind before they bid whether to bid or not.
</p>
<p>
Anyone that checks eBay's coin &amp; note listings from time to time<br />
will know that there are plenty of ridiculous "private listing" coin or<br />
note auctions <em>with bids actually on them</em>, whether the removal of private feedback does enough to save punters from themselves remains to be seen.

The juxtaposition between a person's apparently "normal" life and their commitment to wreak terror on fellow human beings is always a point of wonder, however an (alleged) terrorist using the relatively new sales channel of eBay to raise funds raises a whole lot of very serious questions about eBay - I mean, what was his feedback like? Was he one of those sellers that use those stupid damn faces in his emails all the time? :-) Did he overcharge for postage? What was he actually selling? Are the folks at the "hydroponic gardening centre" that sold him 20 litres of hydrogen peroxide still in business? I'm quite sure a terrorist would have no qualms about selling counterfeit 1930 pennies as genuine items, however doubt whether their selling behaviour was as salacious as I first imagined.</p>
